[0065] Pixel merging is performed on the extracted information and the unextracted information respectively to obtain the background information and the device under test information.

[0066] Specifically, when using this technology to identify an image, the image to be identified can be input into the computer system first, and then the computer will automatically match the image, extract the characteristics of the image, and perform specific classification. In the process of intelligent image recognition, the preprocessing link is image input, which is a relatively critical link and is directly related to the image recognition effect.
